Did anybody see the NJ.com article on the 3 prospects that were traded for Sonny Gray and how they're doing now? They all stink, but Mateo might be the starting SS this year even though he strikes out all the time. Fowler hasn't been the same since his injury. The most interesting update was on the pitcher, James Kaprielian.
Kaprielian, the 16th overall pick by the Yankees out of UCLA in 2015, underwent Tommy John surgery in April 2017, three months before the trade, then had shoulder trouble which delayed his return until last season. And he is feeling more like himself this spring, throwing 92 to 94 mph. The A’s sent Kaprielian to Triple A on Thursday, knowing they might need him at some point this season. Kaprielian would like to prove something to the Yankees. “I want to make this hurt them as much as possible,” Kaprielian said. “I just keep telling myself those years I’ve missed are years I’m going to pile on to the back end of my career.”
Why is he so peeved at the Yanks, they didn't make him get hurt. What a freakin' baby.
